The Geo Lister Company was formed by George Lister in the late 1890s. Geo Lister formed a partnership with Charles Flatters and Harry Branch, creating a general engineering, blacksmith and wrought ironwork shop. When the partners retired and his sons Alfred and Horace joined the business, the company's name was changed to 'Geo. Lister & Sons' in 1919. In 1930, Horace became sole proprietor after the untimely death of his brother Alfred, and then their father.
Horace's sons Raymond and Brian later became directors in the company, ascending to joint Managing Directorship in 1954. Brian had an interest in racing and one of his first races was in a Morgan 4/4 sports. Later, he built a Cooper-MG sports car with help from Lister apprentice Edwin 'Dick' Barton. This was followed by the Tojeiro-JAP named the Asteroid.
Brian Lister met a one-handed individual named Archie Scott Brown who would later prove his abilities as a world-class racing driver. When the duo met Don Moore, a local motor engineer, the ingredients were formed for what would become a successful series of Lister sports-racing cars. During the 1950s , their cars would be a dominant force in the 'free-Formula' British sports car category and in Sports Car Club of America national Championship competition. The legendary 'Knobbly' Lister-Jaguars and Lister-Chevrolets are a few of the memorable names that raced during the 1958 and 1959 SCCA series.
A new company was formed by Brian Lister, dubbed 'Brian Lister (Light Engineering) Ltd' with the purpose of building racing cars. They utilized engines and various components from MG, Bristol, Chevrolet, Jaguar and Maserati vehicles during the 1950s. The most famous of their creations was the Knobbly. In total, there were no more than 17 original cars constructed in 1958. Following Scott Brown's fatal accident at Spa, Belgium, in May of 1958, Brian Lister closed his car manufacturing business.
In 1990, four special 'Centenary Edition' Lister-Jaguar 'Knobbly' cars were created to honor the centenary year of Geo. Lister & Sons Ltd. They were made to the same standard as the original. The final products were marketed by Lawrence Pearce in England.

The Maison Losseau is an Art Nouveau private house located in Mons, Belgium. Dating from the 18th century, it was renovated in Art Nouveau style in the early 1900s at the request of Léon Losseau by Paul Saintenoy. It is listed on the list of the exceptional heritage site of Wallonia and since 2015 houses a center for the interpretation of Léon Losseau's collections and regional literature. The house is located at number 37 rue de Nimy in Mons, next to the courthouse.
The neoclassical façade is covered with a white coating. The entrance door is detached, consisting of black cast iron columns decorated with golden leaves (1908) and fuchsia flowers of the same color.The house has very refined details. Each piece has a flower theme.The lobby has for example the theme of pink and orchid. A canopy with wooden beams overlooks the living room, which was decorated in 1911 by 15 pâte de verres of Amalric Walter representing the Belfry of Thuin and the river Sambre.
The facade, the roof and the interior of the house are classified as heritage monuments on the list of the exceptional heritage sites of Wallonia. Since 19 April 1982, the facade and the roofs are classified as heritage while the interior of the house was classified in 21 November 1983. In 2015, after a project launched in the early 2010s in anticipation of Mons 2015, a renovation began in 2011, the house reopened to the public in 2015. It houses a center for the interpretation of Léon Losseau's collections and a center for regional literature.
The original house was built in the eighteenth century. It was acquired in 1873 by Charles Losseau, the father of Léon Losseau.
Glass roof in the living room. Glass and wooden beams, stylization of rosebushes and orchids. (Daum 1905)
It was completely renovated by Paul Saintenoy who was contacted in 1899 by Léon Losseau, lawyer, bibliophile, photographer and art patron. The finishing works were entrusted to Parisian architects Henri Sauvage and Charles Sarazin and continued by the Brussels architect Louis Sauvage. Paul Saintenoy began its work in 1900 and completed it in 1904, while the majority of decorations were made between 1905 and 1912. The renovation that ended in 1913 included the addition of electricity, central heating and an elevator. Once the renovation was completed, it became the first private house in Mons equipped with electricity and central heating.
During his life, Léon Losseau accumulated more than 100,000 books in his private library, mostly devoted to politics, but also to literature and poetry. A foundation was created in 1952 to manage his legacy.
The former Schneiders' commercial building (also known as the 'Geschäftshaus Schneider') in Düsseldorf's old town was built in 1896 or 1898 according to designs by the Düsseldorf architect Hermann vom Endt. On September 2, 1983, the corner building was listed as a historical monument.

History of Monk Bretton Priory
The substantial ruins of Monk Bretton Priory, near Barnsley, are now edged by housing estates and industrial developments. When the monastery was built, however, the site in the wooded valley of the River Dearne was peaceful and remote.
Founded in about 1154 by a local landowner, Adam Fitzswaine, it was a daughter house of the rich Cluniac priory at Pontefract. But within 50 years bitter quarrels – at times even involving gang warfare – had broken out between the two houses, as Pontefract sought to retain direct control of Monk Bretton. The dispute was only resolved in 1281, when Monk Bretton seceded from the Cluniac Order and became a Benedictine house.
The later history of Monk Bretton was, in comparison, uneventful. The priory owned properties across South Yorkshire, with rights over five parish churches, and worked coal and ironstone in the Barnsley area. In 1295 it housed 13 monks and a prior; there was exactly the same number at its closure in November 1538 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
After 1538 the priory was swiftly plundered for usable building materials: the north aisle of the church, for example, was dismantled and reconstructed as the parish church of Wentworth (though this was itself demolished in the late 18th century). The bells and church plate were taken to London and melted down.
In 1589 the estate was bought by William Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and the west range of the cloister was converted into a country house for his son Henry. The priory site changed hands several times over later centuries, before being placed in state guardianship in 1932.
Description
Little remains of the church, although there are several particularly fine examples of medieval grave slabs. Some of these still retain lead lettering set into the stone; others are decorated with beautifully incised crosses.
The cloister buildings are better preserved. They include the high south wall of the monks’ refectory, with its two great windows; parts of the chapterhouse; and the west range which is almost complete. This range shows extensive evidence of the conversion work undertaken in the 1580s. It was used as a residence until the late 19th century, which is how it survived.
Located beyond the cloister at the south-east corner of the site are the well-preserved drains that flushed the latrine block with running water brought from the River Dearne.
North-east of the church a large building of the late 13th century stands alone. It retains its medieval double-ridged roof, and, inside, tall octagonal pillars support the upper storey. The building was probably the courthouse and administrative building for the management of the priory estates.
The imposing priory gatehouse, which was built in the early 15th century, is still almost intact, although roofless.

Beverley Railway Station
Beverley railway station serves the town of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Hull to Scarborough Line and is operated by Northern who provide most passenger services from the station.
History and description
Beverley station was opened in October 1846 by the York and North Midland Railway leased Bridlington branch of the Hull and Selby Railway. The original station was designed by G.T. Andrews.
Beverley gained junction status nineteen years later in 1865 when the North Eastern Railway completed the Market Weighton to Beverley section of the York to Beverley Line.
The station was also planned to be the junction for the North Holderness Light Railway. This intended railway was given an Act in Parliament for 'transferring to the company the North Holderness Light Railway Company; and for other purposes, North Eastern Railway Bill [Lords].' The act was passed on 8 June 1899, but the NER never built the line.
The York to Beverley Line closed as a result of the Beeching Axe on 29 November 1965.[3] The station received listed building status in 1985.
The station has a staffed ticket office, which is open Mondays to Fridays from 07:00 until 17:00 and until 13:30 on Saturdays (closed Sundays). A ticket machine is also provided. There is a waiting room and cafe in the main building next to the ticket hall and a shelter on the opposite platform. Step-free access is available to both platforms, though the southbound one is reached via a manned barrier level crossing. Train running details are offered via digital display screens and timetable posters.

Bradley Beach Free Public Library
Borough of Bradley Beach, New Jersey
Listed 12/24/2013
Reference Number: 13000976
Constructed in 1927 as a Free Public Library, the Bradley Beach Library embodies the civic efforts of the Woman's Improvement League (WIL), a local woman's club, which established the library to provide educational enrichment to the citizens of Bradley Beach. The civic efforts of the women of Bradley Beach during the early 20th-century reflect the initiatives of women's voluntary organizations throughout the country and the State of New Jersey to influence the development of their communities, promoting cultural, educational, religious and social reforms. Although the Bradley Beach Free Public Library was constructed after the Carnegie Foundation discontinued the construction of local libraries, the design of the Bradley Beach Library followed many of the design guidelines and innovations recommended by Andrew Carnegie and James Bertram, Carnegie's personal secretary. The Bradley Beach Library is locally significant as a representative example of the instrumental role women's clubs and women's civic, cultural, and social volunteer organizations played in spearheading successful local library campaigns in hundreds of communities throughout the country during the first quarter of the 20th-century. The Library is also significant as a representative example of early 20th century library design, embracing the ideals of the "Free Library Movement," which were reflected in Andrew Carnegie's reforms of American library architecture. The period of significance of the Library is 1927, the year the building was constructed.

Beautifully lit by the afternoon sun.
Durham Cathedral was built in the late 11th and early 12th centuries to house the relics of St Cuthbert (evangelizer of Northumbria) and the Venerable Bede. It attests to the importance of the early Benedictine monastic community and is the largest and finest example of Norman architecture in England. The innovative audacity of its vaulting foreshadowed Gothic architecture.
Durham Cathedral and Castle are UNESCO World Heritage Listed
This is a Kodak Brownie 127 photograph that my brother took of one of the cars that competed in the sports car race at the British Grand Prix meeting at Silverstone in July 1956. It's the 1956 Lister Maserati being driven here in the paddock on practice day by Archie Scott-Brown. Archie Scott-Brown, although severely physically handicapped, had achieved much success in the 1954 season with a Lister MG which continued in the 1955 season when a Bristol engine was fitted in place of the MG unit. For the 1956 season a new car was designed using one of the 2 litre Maserati engines that had been designed for the A6GCS. This engine proved to be unreliable leading to a mixture of good and bad results, and at Silverstone the car failed to finish the race.
For the 1957 season Brian Lister designed a car round the Jaguar engine that had powered the Le Mans winning D-Types and in that season Archie Scott-Brown won 12 of the 14 races he entered. In 1958 he looked set to repeat this success, but was unfortunately killed when driving the Lister Jaguar in an accident in a sports car race at Spa-Francorchamps in May of that year.
